It should look basically accurate, except that the edges absorb momentum. You're looking downward into a pool of water and dragging the mouse is like dragging a finger through the water. Not totally the same, because the mouse is directly imparting momentum into the fluid instead of displacing it- that's why twirling looks wrong. If you move the mouse in a circle it will constantly grab and pull back the fluid, which can't be done in real life.

The fluid has a set lifetime instead of actually mixing, which makes it look different- normally the edges would dissipate faster than the areas that are all ink but instead it just all fades at the same rate.

The simulation is kind of 3d- since it's incompressible, pressure at any point is proportional to the height of the fluid. Advection still happens on a single plane, but if the pressure-related height is relatively large compared to the average depth of the fluid it's not a bad approximation. The viscous losses are also kind of arbitrary, but it's not far from water.
Tend to agree. His interview with Leopold Aschenbrenner and subsequent interview with François Chollet revealed a pretty obvious LLM maximalist position. Kind of off-putting.

The IBM mainframe branch of evolution is different from UNIX and Windows.
It is unfamiliar for most.

I know the first time I sat down with a terminal to a UNIX machine
I found it hostile, unintuitive and perplexing.

vi is not easy to use when you know nothing about it to begin with.

Yes I fly on UNIX after a few decades but I sill remember my first
introduction.

z/OS (which is also, but far from only UNIX¹), came out in 2000 and is far more than this article lets on.

z/OS supports backwards compatability
CICS, COBOL, IMS, PL/I, IBM Db2, RACF, SNA, IBM MQ, REXX,
CLIST, SMP/E, JCL, TSO/E, and ISPF, among others.

z/OS also ships with a 64-bit Java runtime,
C/C++ compiler based on the LLVM open-source Clang infrastructure,

z/OS can communicate directly via TCP/IP, including IPv6,[5] and includes standard HTTP servers (one from Lotus, the other Apache-derived) along with other common services such as SSH, FTP, NFS, and CIFS/SMB.

¹ UNIX (Single UNIX Specification) APIs and applications through UNIX System Services – The Open Group certifies z/OS as a compliant UNIX operating system – with UNIX/Linux-style hierarchical file systems.
In all fairness regarding his comment about Netscape - anyone who invested in Netscape at the IPO (and certainly before the IPO) at $2.9B - made a ton of money on the Internet. On the last day of trading, after the AOL exit 4 years it was worth (cash, stock, etc...) around $10B. Thank Mike Homer for pushing that one through, and Jim Barksdale for being savvy enough to recognize it as the right play.
I mean sure, but it's entirely an optional communal space? Like...who cares?

The only reason there was even an opinion about Twitter was mainstream news started reporting "what was on Twitter" and it's still centralized in that way - it "felt" non-optional.
Capital costs would probably be way too much.

Crew requirements to operate a navy reactor are also probably pretty high. A cargo ship usually has a shockingly small crew.

The term ‘climate change’ didn’t exist 45 years ago (except perhaps in a few technical circles). You’re using current knowledge/terminology/perspective to comment on things that were not in the mindset of the general populace or politicians at the time. I know this as I was there.

It's not that hard to explain that prices stopped rising, which is what it means to kill inflation. Even Trump explained that point pretty clearly. After the election.

> while traveling, I consider using money to be like cheating

And even on the cheap, let's keep in mind that money is central to the luxury that any tourism is. In my 90's youth, I figuratively littered the map with pushpins in countries off the path beaten by Westerners, impressing family and friends. But really, I just happened to have the privilege of taking a few months for clueless wandering with no worries about means and the knowledge that if the affair turned sour I could at any point arrange a safety net. Sure, I was a fairly cheap backpacker, but still there was no glory in such adventuring - just money. I still recommend it to anyone who can, and that experience has shaped a large part of my later life in unforeseen ways, but I have long stopped gloating about it.
> Confirming Mr. Barnes’s account is problematic after so much time. Mr. Connally, Mr. Casey and other central figures have long since died and Mr. Barnes has no diaries or memos to corroborate his account. But he has no obvious reason to make up the story and indeed expressed trepidation at going public because of the reaction of fellow Democrats ...

> None of that establishes whether Mr. Reagan knew about the trip, nor could Mr. Barnes say that Mr. Casey directed Mr. Connally to take the journey. Likewise, he does not know if the message transmitted to multiple Middle Eastern leaders got to the Iranians, much less whether it influenced their decision making.

"Historical fact" is a very strong way to say "one man's story recounted 40 years later and backed by modest circumstantial evidence", and even to the extent the story is true as told in that article, Reagan's backers didn't "conspire" with anyone—as recounted, they never spoke with the Iranians, they told other Arab leaders to let the Iranians know.

If true, this is still worth recounting, but you're not helping anything by overstating the degree to which we know this to be fact nor by overstating the crime.
Do you really care? Open WebUI has excellent UI and features, and its complexity is well hidden, IMO.

Resources are not always in terms of material terms. Poor people with family, friends, associates, familiarity of a region, etc. stay there. What's a bit unique for American migration patterns in the past 60-ish years people have become less and less mobile for economic opportunities and the cultural shift has sometimes become more resentful toward those that feel betrayed by those leaving regions for better economic opportunities. In a lot of countries people are happy and even envious of those leaving their areas of origin. The underlying reasons for lack of mobility is another heatedly debated topic altogether but there's absolutely plenty of things the poor, particularly rural ones, absolutely have plenty to lose.
> Carter deregulated more than Raygun. Raygun introduced more gun regulations than Carter

Both these ignore a lot of context. Carter had to do something about stagflation. Deregulation that promotes competition and appointing Volcker to the Fed aren't directly eroding worker's rights like Reagan's solution of union busting. Reagan signed the machine gun ban as part of an amendment to pass the Firearms Owners' Protection Act that was endorsed by the NRA.

> It's almost like it's a big club that you're not a member of.

Agreed, but not in the way that you're thinking of. The "big club" is capable of understanding nuance and making dispassionate decisions (or at least their can hire people who can do that on their behalf). Regular voters react to emotional sound bites and outsource their critical thinking to those in the "big club" who superficially align with their worldview.
For someone technical, this is certainly an option, but the other half of the argument is that you need to be where the other people are. In this respect, Mastondon is not something the average social media user finds easy, and why Bluesky is having success with this group.

We had some ambiguity here about what "paying for your own health insurance" actually means, so I am not sure either of our points really stand. Or maybe they both do ...

On the one hand: health insurance premiums are entirely deductible if you have schedule C income that exceeds their value. This covers more or less all self-employed people, who are the largest group paying for their own insurance.

On the other hand: health insurance premiums are not deductible if you do not have schedule C income that exceeds their value (and/or are eligible for an employer subsidized insurance policy), which means there is still a sizable and significant group of people paying for their own insurance and not able to deduct it.

I am sure you know my own preferred answer: convert all health insurance premiums into taxes that fund a single payer system, so that there is no difference between self-employed "self payers" and non-self-employed "self payers".

Given that we're unlikely to see that before I'm pushing up daisies, I would agree that either any health insurance premium paid by the insured should be tax deductible or none of it should be, to level the playing field. I think I slightly prefer the none solution, but I'm not actively against the all version.
Iceland is in the EEA so EU FoM is already a thing.
They create equilibriums for the constraints involved, so now relax some of those constraints (zoning, utility infrastructure, schools, transit) to raise them.

Gruber's shilling some here. Andreesen et al. started over from scratch when they created Netscape. They didn't use any of the NCSA code. It was a ground up re-write.

That battery would inevitably be thicker than necessary and have less capacity. Would also more or less stop any potential innovation.

How so?
Didn’t say all or mostly. It is one aspect. You’re right it’s typically bullet points that are fleshed out in the moment, rather than a rehearsed speech, when this happens.
> I preferred the culture and diversity that came from each country having its own national identity.

We still have or national identity. I live in Hamburg/Germany. Our identity is largely European since hundreds of years (see for example our history in the Hanse), before the German nation existed. We have a strong Regional and European identity.

> Why would we celebrate the EU's efforts to homogenise our national cultures?

The EU doesn't do that. In many ways it actually preserves local (and also regional) cultures. It sets a framework for democracy and law in Europe.

> I preferred the EU when it was a trading union as opposed to a utopian political experiment.

A trading union doesn't influence culture and politics?

The EU was never thought as just a trading union. It was set up as a process to get a peaceful Union for the European Countries after hundreds of years of wars. After the WWII which made clear that lasting peace can be achieved by deep cooperation.

This is one of the main reasons that many homeless people refuse shelter beds unless the weather makes it absolutely necessary. Phones and other important personal items get stolen constantly.
The terms "inadvertent climate modification" and "global warming" were very much coming up around the late 80s.
Oh hush. You’re the barking up the wrong tree with this ‘beautiful housing’ thing.

If we want to reform zoning, it’s not going to be by winning over NIMBYs about beauty standards. The way to reform zoning is to win over younger, upwardly mobile folks who are currently priced out of the housing market. There are many, many of them. They need to be educated that too little construction leads to supply shortages, and thus high prices. We also stand a chance of winning over labor/blue collar workers who will benefit from plentiful construction. Business owners, both small and large, are also natural allies as high home prices make it difficult to find and keep employees. All these people care about something much nearer and dearer to their hearts than pretty architecture: MONEY.

The focus on aesthetics is a distraction at best. In practice, it plays straight into NIMBY hands by granting that beauty standards is a hurdle that must be overcome in order to build.
I like to jokingly argue that the primary difference between Democrats and Republicans is disagreement on whether it's more important to subsidize large corporations directly or through tax policy.

In reality I think there is a lot of daylight between the parties on social issues that do not affect current power structures.

Abortion, trans rights, women's rights, gay marriage, religion in public schools, etc: Tons of difference.

Funding genocide, subsidising the fossil fuel industry, maintaining a for-profit healthcare system, opposing ranked choice or instant run-off voting, keeping third parties out, refusing to enforce anti-trust law, refusing to raise the minimum wage, no accountability for police brutality, etc: Broad bipartisan support.
I agree with you.

I actually don't see any value-add from SDKs that wrap HTTP requests. HTTP is a standard, and my programming environment already provides a way to make requests. In fact it probably provides multiple, and your SDK might use a different one from what I do in the project, resulting in bloat. And for what gain? I still need to look at docs and try my best to do what the docs are telling me to.

Now if it's a statically typed language then I kinda get it. Better IDE/lsp integration and all. But even then, just publish an OpenAPI spec and let me generate my own client that's more idiomatic with my project.
I think their vision is as it should be ambitious, but I don't believe they can gain any real technical moat.

Models are commodities, even in the case Open ai goes through another major breakthrough nothing can stop some of their employees to run to other companies or founding their own and replicating or bettering the OpenAI results.

In fairness I realize that I don't use any of OpenAI's models. There are better alternatives for coding, translating or alternatives that are simply faster or cheaper (Gemini) or more open.
We design our own PCBs at work. They are still made on a factory assembly line. The assembly line is just more flexible to be able to accommodate various designs.

OpenAI's engineers: brilliant, A+, A* even.

OpenAI's C-suite: Well, they earned the C, but it was a letter grade.

What a profoundly unimaginative strategy. No matter the industry, a large-scale diversion of resources towards a moonshot goal will likely get you to that goal. They haven't made an argument as to why we should do that just for them, especially with all of the other alternatives.

And no, advertising your previously secret testing models (e.g. o3) as if they were market competitors is not how to prove they should have our money.
What you're describing there is the "actual work" which can either be done by someone else and funded by investor capital (see the beginning of this thread) or you learn to do it yourself and in return you are not beholden to investors who will eventually try to extract a profit from you and your peers.

> I am still stunned that Brexit was left to a 50% + epsilon referendum.

In Australia, a constitutional referendum requires a double majority to pass: both a majority nationally, and a state-wide majority in a majority of states (so at least 4 out of 6).

Unlike Australia, the UK has no written constitution, and is a unitary state with devolution instead of a federation. Still, Brexit was undeniably a constitutional-level issue, and taking the constituent countries as the analog to states, they could have adopted the same "double majority" rule in the UK for the Brexit referendum. And if they had, the referendum would have failed: it got a majority nationwide, but in only two out of four constituent countries (England and Wales but not Scotland and Northern Ireland).

A big problem the UK has – which Brexit has arguably only worsened – is its extreme lopsidedness – one of the constituent countries (England) is over 80% of the population, so a big enough English majority on any issue can override the will of the other three constituent countries. And yet there are essentially no constitutional provisions to protect against this. Adopting a "double majority" for the Brexit referendum would have been a small step in the direction of doing so, at least by establishing a precedent.

[0] The fact that it was legally non-binding is not an issue: the legislation could have simply specified the conditions under which the referendum would be "deemed to pass", and require some appropriate government official to make a formal declaration as to whether those conditions had been met or not.
> I didn't start contributing to make money

Your intentions might not have been to make money, but you were creating social credit that could be redeemed for a higher and better paying job. With GitHub, Stack Overflow, etc., you are adding to your resume, but with AI, you literally get nothing in return for contributing.
Iceland could leverage geothermal energy to produce green forms of ammonia or hydrogen. Not a jackpot but strategically it is fairly inexpensive to leverage. The EU doesn't have a good alternative to cheap Russian gas at the moment. The price of natural gas in the EU is about five times the price than in the US.
Tribute to Carter's public health work
I think it's one of those features where the original intended audience of the programming language are supposed to be non-programmers (or presumably, 1-based indexing is intuitive?) but for seasoned programmers who have been used to 0-based indexing, the change is quite stark.

It's the same concept with AutoHotKey and the original intention of Lua (super small user-defined script for the masses).

Whereas Fortran and Ada probably had some forethought that went into enabling that functionality. I will have to check but I remember my algorithm class started with 1-based indexing and the reason was it was intuitive to explain. But when experienced with C/C-inspired languages, the old adage becomes relevant: "There are 2 hard problems in computer science: cache invalidation, naming things, and off-by-1 errors."

later excerpts

"...the word’s root emphasizes that the problem is a structural one linked to a lack of affordable housing, not a personal weakness."

"...those who have adopted it say it’s [...] to lessen stigma and to highlight that those lacking permanent roofs over their heads may still have communities or physical spaces they consider home."
> like the left moved left, the right moved right,

The only leftist pandering that Kamala offered was getting rid of taxes on tips (something that Trump offered first, actually), she seemed fairly center, or even a bit right of center (putting off far lefties) as Democrat presidential candidates are usually these days. Trump, likewise, didn't really veer right, he actually veered a bit left in offering to lower prices, make life easier, less wars, and stuff that you would not really hear from a far right candidate either (well, except for the ultra nationalism). I don't think left and right really describes our parties anymore.

> Said another way, I think a young Jimmy Carter type candidate would have wiped the floor with either side this election.

I don't think someone like young Jimmy Carter could get elected today, he is just too honest and wouldn't be promising enough short term juice. Most Americans are too inward focused for that kind of politician right now.
I’ve wondered this myself. Is there a condensed, ad/promotion free source for things like upcoming IPOs, upcoming announcements, annual reports/filings etc
Europeans still have significantly more money and therefore consume more than the Chinese. India is not even remotely close because of how poor it is.
